We Create Modern Workspaces

From coworking space or collaborative office space, Think Big Workspace Advisory Services can help you run a more successful operation to make a bigger impact in your community.

Think Big Partners launched its first workspace in 2010. Since that time, we have outgrown our original 12,000-square-foot location into multiple locations totaling over 100,000 square feet in operation and development.

While building our community, we have advised other communities through feasibility studies on how to build the right workspace to act as an economic development catalyst and uncover substantial business opportunities. This roadmap has helped communities secure funding, recruit the right partners and begin the design process to deliver on time and within budget.

In addition to community building, Think Big has helped real estate owners and existing creative space owners transform their existing buildings or communities into high occupancy, higher than average rental assets to help ignite communities’ economic rebirth.

We even have experience “turning around” coworking spaces that are under-performing, implementing best practices, better technology and creating a business model that is more valuable and sustainable.

Globally, there are over 7,800 collaborative workspaces (includes coworking space, shared office and executive office space). The trend shaping the future of work is growing at an incredible pace.

The demand for various types of collaborative office spaces is rising exponentially from year to year, making the global and local markets more competitive than ever before. It simply isn’t enough to have “cool furniture” and free coffee.

If you don’t have the right layout, effective service processes in place or understand the functional role your workspace plays in the community–and how to maximize your impact–your workspace will not achieve its full potential. In some instances, this can be the difference between long-lasting success and outright failure.

Today, 1 in every 4 American workers is an entrepreneur or freelancer, and that number is expected to grow to 40% by 2020.

These workspace users expect a high-quality experience, enhanced productivity, connectivity to the right people and a sense of community.
